• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. The nearest mapped parking is half a mile away, so the last stretch is on foot. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Lake of the Woods, 1 mile away, makes the obvious fallback. What applies at Tillery Lake may have changed since it was mapped.
